Getting traffic to your site is the name of the game. You can have the best product available and a good looking website but if you cannot get people to see your site and read about your product you are not going to make very many sales.

We’ve talked before about link building campaigns and how this can bring you much needed search engine luv. Basically, link building campaigns consist of strategically placed anchor text links on other relevant sites. You want to very your keywords used and vary the type of sites you are getting links from.

This is the most exhaustive list of Link Building ideas I have seen in one place.  Some links can be obtained for free, some with relationship building, and some are paid for.  I hope you get a lot of ideas from it.

Gabriel’s SEO ROI website has a lot of terrific information as well.

I am a big proponent of writing articles and submitting them to article sites.  As you can see in my book, The Beginner’s Guide to Online Success, I go through many of the tips and tricks to get your articles approved and your website visited.

You need to provide fresh, original content on a regular basis to make this traffic generation tool work for you.  While you can submit to literally hundreds of article sites I focus on these high page rank sites.

Ezine Articles
GoArticles
Article Dashboard
Article City

However, I just found a terrific site that lets you (as the article author) share in the Google Adsense money they earn on your article page.  That’s right you will earn 50% of the Google Adsense money that is generated when an article reader clicks through on any of the Google Adsense ads on your article page.

It’s free to join (click here) and they even walk you through getting an Adsense account (which I highly recommend having) and putting up articles is quick and easy.

After you sign up you will click the “Manage My Account” tab at the top and click “My Adsense Code” in the drop down menu.

As always, if you need any help just add a comment to this blog and I will get back to you quickly.

This is a short post just to give you some great information.   As we’ve talked about in my book and on this blog one of your best tools in your efforts to make money from home is your BLOG.  When you make a post on your blog you want it to be indexed by search engines and blog directories so your posts will show up in organic searches.  This is why you always use your best keywords in your posts.

The search engine spiders will come but the best way to immediately notify them that you have a new post is to PING the spiders and tell them you’ve just put out new food.   Most blog sites have an area called Update Services that will automatically notify the spiders when you have a new post.  (In Word Press it is located in the Settings>Writing page down at the bottom).  The default in this area will probably have less than 10 sites that are notified.

Below is the Ultimate Ping List that will notify 227 update services…all without you having to do any additional work.  Just copy the the following list (I know its long, sorry) and paste it into the area for your blogs Update Services.  If you have trouble or can’t find where to put it just leave a comment here and I will help you, my goal is to help you earn money online.
